My Cat

 

Why is it that my cat

Is so content?

Why is it that

 

She urges not

To write a sentence

Or paint a picture?

 

Why is it that

She plays no instruments

Nor reads a novel?

 

Why is it that

She cooks not her food

Nor worries after her losses?

 

Why is it that my cat

Is content to lay at my feet

And purr when I scratch her head?

 

My cat is a marvel

For me to behold

And as I live and die

 

I will probably never know

Why my cat

Is so content.
